I've experienced really nasty instances where the attacks came from spoofed IP addresses. If you are using a Linux Distro you can try filtering the attacks based on packet length, but I imagine since you are a GSP you are stuck with Windows due to TCAdmin. In that case you would have to attempt to filter from a router. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 22:13:14 +0100 From: "Dominik Friedrichs" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [hlds] TSource Engine Query Issue To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original In case you indeed use Windows, you can use IPSec to block packets from selected IPs. It is possible to write a server plugin that automatically adds an IP filter using the netsh tool when there is a flood coming from a certain IP. A seperate tool would run daily to remove any expired filters (usually a blocking for 24 hours is sufficient). I built such a system but actually for the zero-length packet exploit - I never had issues with people spamming the info query. But I have no idea what the effect would be at such high data rates. The good thing is, as soon as someone starts flooding you, the server will appear dead to them for the next 24 hours, so the attackers might actually think the server has crashed and move on or celebrate their success. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Piatek" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 03:12 Subject: [hlds] TSource Engine Query Issue > Hello all, > > > With regards to this thread: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/private/hlds/2010-October/067454.html > > We have seen a very massive increase in attacks lately due to this, pretty > much random servers on random days.
